Sidewalk repairs on the Capitol Campus scheduled to begin Oct. 3 have been postponed until Oct. 7. The repairs will be made at the following locations:

• Capitol Way and Sid Snyder Avenue
• 11th Avenue and Capitol Way
• 11th Avenue and Washington, near the Natural Resources Building

A small sinkhole in the Pritchard parking lot will also be repaired.

The plan is for all three sidewalk areas to be worked on concurrently. The work is expected to be completed by Oct. 18.

Tree removal

The two 11th Avenue improvements will repair safety hazards caused by tree root damage. Some trees will be removed and replaced.

• Four Linden trees on Capitol Way will be removed and replaced with Chonosuki Crab Apple trees.
• Six Cypress Cedars on Washington will be removed and replaced with five dwarf Mountain Hemlocks.
• Three Bow Hall Maples on Washington will be removed and replaced by Apollo Maples.

The replacement trees have been approved by the Department of Natural Resources and are better suited to be planted along sidewalks.

The sidewalk work at Capitol Way and Sid Snyder Avenue will replace old pavement and allow for the installation of a transit shelter. No trees will be removed at this location
